So I got up a bit early this morning since I knew I would be in meetings most of the day and I wanted to have time for something productive. I guess it is a good thing I did get up early; had I not, I wouldn't have found an ENORMOUS bug in my apartment. I do take offense to HOW the thing was discovered. I came upon it (or more accurately it came upon me) when it fell from my bathroom light fixture on my leg, while I was sitting on the toilet. I don't handle bugs of any size well, but a giant something with long antennas that make its size go from its body length of an inch+ to nearly 2 inches is more than my bleary eyes can take; especially when the thing lands on me so unceremoniously. Ugh. I would give you a more accurate size measurement, but the bug is currently residing under a opaque mug on my living room floor. I know I should kill it. I know I want to kill it. Yet I cannot kill it. The bigger the creature, the harder it is for me to kill. Especiially if they have any type of hard skeletal body. Just he crunching sound of the thing being crushed grosses me out. So I will call my trusty friend in the neighborhood who will happily come and dispose of the creature for me.
ps. I just learned (as I thought it might be) that the bug is a giant, grown silver fish. I was going to put a picture of one up, but frankly I couldn't really look at my screen and had to blindly close the window. So count yourself lucky.

eeeeewwwww!!!!
that is ugly (i googled it)... but the silver is sorta pretty. i'm not too scared of bugs but when they drop in unexpected it definitely gives me a fright. once i was showering and a spider dropped right down in front of my eyes. i think my heart rate shot from 70 to 150.
glad to see you back to blogging, so let's all thank the silverfish
